Nijubashi Square, a commercial zone located on the first and second basement floors of the Marunouchi Nijubashi Building in Marunouchi 3-chome, Chiyoda Ward, Tokyo, will open on November 8th. It will house 25 carefully selected stores, including some opening in Japan for the first time and new types of stores.


Located at the junction of Marunouchi and Yurakucho, the Marunouchi Nijubashi Building is a new complex featuring cultural, cultural exchange, tourism and more, created by rebuilding the Fuji Building, the Tokyo Chamber of Commerce and Industry Building and the Tokyo Kaikan Building. Among these, the commercial zone, "Nijubashi Square," will feature a total of 25 stores, including 17 restaurants, 7 retail stores, and 1 service store, ranging from authentic fashion to specialty restaurants.

The concept of the basement floor is "Downtown Marunouchi - A "downtown" that spreads a new Marunouchi food culture." It is lined with unique stores that will stimulate the five senses of office workers and visitors. Shops making their "Tokyo debut" include "Yakitori Matsumoto," a popular Fukuoka restaurant serving charcoal-grilled Satsuma chicken yakitori, "Tsuruhashi Okonomiyaki & Teppanyaki Omoni" from Osaka, and "Nagahama Fresh Fish Wholesaler Direct Store Hakata Uosuke" from Fukuoka. In addition, there will be a collection of restaurants and service stores that can be used daily for lunch, cafes, and dinner by area workers and visitors, including ``new business type'' stores such as ``bar à vin ROTI'' and ``Yakiniku MARUGO,'' as well as famous local restaurants and popular Tokyo restaurants.

"Tsuruhashi Okonomiyaki & Teppanyaki Omoni" has been in business in Tsuruhashi, Osaka for over 50 years.
"bar à vin ROTI" is a French teppanyaki restaurant where you can enjoy French cuisine in a bar atmosphere.
The first floor, which is made up of street-level stores including cafes and other dining establishments and is a new addition to Marunouchi Nakadori, is home to "Urban Based on the concept of "Gallery - A glamorous and high-quality urban gallery," the store will utilize the continuity with the surrounding buildings to further enhance the appeal of Marunouchi's main street.
Ermenegildo Zegna, a leading Italian luxury men's clothing brand, will open a concept store offering everything from business wear to casual wear and leather goods to add color to your lifestyle. In addition, J.M.WESTON, a leading manufacturer of French trad shoes that attracts celebrities from all over the world, will open its second street-level store in Tokyo after Minami-Aoyama and its first concept store in Asia after the J.M.Weston Champs-Élysées store which opened in Paris in July of this year. Other high-end fashion stores opening include this one.






J.M. Weston, housed in an Art Deco-style store designed by French architect Joseph Dirand, offers shoes and small leather goods, as well as shoe maintenance services. Other stores opening include Diptyque, which will be opening its fifth directly managed store in Japan to commemorate 50 years of fragrance sales, 45R, which offers comfortable, high-quality casual wear made with attention to detail, including materials and stitching, and House of Lotus, a lifestyle craft brand whose creative director is model Karen Kirishima.




The floor of Diptyque, the fifth store to open in Japan, is covered with tiles with a design inspired by kintsugi, the same as the bottles of the brand's eau de parfum, OPONE.



The Forty Five R store design was created by Japanese contemporary artist Hiroshi Sugimoto. The store's impressive interior features walls made of copper plates and a counter made of Yakusugi cedar, and is filled with comfortable items such as the brand's signature indigo color.




"House of Lotus" is designed like a concept store or kiosk, and will feature a selection of items that are symbolic of the brand, which mainly sells miscellaneous goods. Original lotus-print furoshiki wrapping cloths will also be sold exclusively at the Marunouchi store. Also on the first floor, world-renowned French pastry chef Pierre Hermé will open "Pierre Hermé," the world's first concept shop, to celebrate the 20th anniversary of his arrival in Japan. Pierre Hermé will share the finest Japanese products with the world from Tokyo's Marunouchi district. Other authentic cafes and restaurants include "ADRIFT by David Myers," created by California star chef David Myers, and "Le Beurre Noisette," the Tokyo branch of the neo-bistro by Thierry Blanqui, the popular owner-chef of Paris's 15th arrondissement. A large terrace will be set up on Marunouchi Nakadori, open for lunch and dinner as well as cafe time. This diverse lineup of stores will further enhance the vibrant atmosphere of Marunouchi Nakadori, which changes its appearance with the seasons. The second floor is based on the concept of "Marunouchi Resort - Light pouring onto the terrace, a resort in the city." The high-quality space with terrace seating is perfect for special occasions such as anniversaries and celebrations, as well as business occasions such as entertaining and banquets. Morton's The Steakhouse, a wet-aged steakhouse from Chicago founded in 1978, and YAUMAY, a dim sum restaurant by Alan Yau, the world-renowned producer behind London's popular restaurants "Hakkasan" and "Park Chinois," have arrived in Japan for the first time. From the terrace seats at both restaurants, you can enjoy the pleasant view of Marunouchi Nakadori Street, surrounded by lush greenery, as well as the Christmas illuminations that brighten up Marunouchi in winter.



Morton's The Steakhouse serves the finest steaks, including its signature Prime Porterhouse (680g for 19,000 yen), made from the highest quality aged meat, grilled in one go at a temperature of over 500 degrees.
